Purpose: To investigate the current thoughts and perspectives on kidney stone analysis amongst urologists and urology residents worldwide.
Methods: In October 2022 an online survey supported by the EULIS was circulated amongst urologists and urology residents worldwide. The survey was based on the current EAU guidelines regarding stone analysis and its role in urolithiasis management.
Article Synopsis
- A standardized tool called the TULIP tool was developed to evaluate flexible ureterorenoscopes (fURS) through a consensus-building approach using the modified Delphi technique.
- A systematic review identified relevant parameters, leading to six main categories and 12 subcategories for evaluation, with high consensus among a panel of 30 endourology experts.
- The project reached a high agreement on both the definitions and measurement methods of these categories, setting the stage for more uniform comparisons in fURS research.
Objective: To assess the effect of 2 over-the-counter alkalizing agents on 24 hour urinary parameters.
Materials And Methods: Ten healthy volunteers without a history of kidney stones were recruited to complete a baseline 24 hour urinalysis with a 4 day diet inventory. Participants then maintained the same diet on either LithoLyte (20 mEq 2 times per day) or KSPtabs (1 tablet 2 times per day) and submitted another 24 hour urinalysis.
Purpose: Prolonged ureteroscopy (URS) is associated with complications including ureteral perforation, stricture, and urosepsis. As laser lithotripsy is one of the most common urologic procedures, small cost savings per case can have a large financial impact. This retrospective study was designed to determine if Thulium fiber laser (TFL) lithotripsy decreases operative time and costs compared to standard Holmium:YAG (Ho:YAG) lithotripsy without pulse modulation.
